Loggers Trail Golf Course

Stillwater sits on the bluffs above the St. Croix River, and the terrain around Loggers Trail reflects the region's rugged, wooded character — the kind of rolling, tree-lined landscape that defined this corner of Minnesota long before it became a bedroom community for the Twin Cities. The course name nods directly to the logging industry that once defined the St. Croix Valley, when Stillwater served as a hub for the white pine trade flowing down the river in the 19th century. That heritage gives the place a sense of grounding in something real.

Golfers making the drive out from the metro find a full 18-hole layout that asks them to manage trees and elevation changes rather than just swing away. The course plays as a genuine test rather than a resort showcase — the kind of track where course management matters as much as ball-striking.

Stillwater itself is one of the more charming small cities in the upper Midwest, with a lively downtown and strong local golf culture, making Loggers Trail a natural fit for both regulars and visiting players exploring the region.
